The purity and perfection of this article are so thoroughly estabnshed by the most ample chemical test ; and the pretensions of others to the production of an equally pure Spirit have so corr.pletely failed—as shown by their not having dared to make plitlYie the results of analization—that J.

As Distillers, J. T.

She had not long taken the Pills, at the prescribed inter vats, before 07, w as perfectly restored to health ; and has, with the occa sional use r.,t them, continued free from pain, and in perfect health and cheerful spirits ever since. The Possessor of this admirable Prescription (a Gentleman of private fottune), having distributed the Pills with the most extraordinary success amongst the Poor in many Counties in England, in 1835 determined to offer them, at a price, to the `public; his personal observation and expe rience having convinced him that they wotdd prove a real. blessing, if taken according to the Physician's Advice and Directions in the wrapper, to r.ll—both old and young, children as well as adults: women, pregnant, rand after the month of confinement -who sufflifed from an inactive laver, and thence all the attendant miseries of Indigestion; Bilious Affec tions (so called) ; flatulence, Jaundice, Dropsy; Pain in the sides and under the Shoulder Blades; Dillictilty of Breathieg; distressing Sensa_ Lion of Choking : with the complexion, and white of the eyes, yellow.

THE Number of the Metropolitan Magazine for January, 1837, commencing a new Volume, it may be pro per to announce to our friends, and the public in general, that a most favourable opportunity is thus offered to subscribers, of com mencing the work by obtaining the late, or beginning the year with a new volume. The Metropolitan Magazine was originated by some of the first writers of the day, and, from its establishment, it has been conti nually contributed to, and supported by the highest literary strength in the country. In it Thomas Campbell has almost excelled him self, by various pieces, both in prose and verse ; and the highly gifted Moore has diffused over its pages the glow of his poetry, and adorned them with the classic elegance of his prose. Marryat, one of the most popular authors of the time, has made this periodical his peculiar care, upheld it with his genius, and fostered it with his unremitting attention. In it has appeared the first dawn of those remarkable Naval Novels, " Peter Simple," " Jacob Faithful," " Newton Foster," &c., that have proved the delight of the age. These names great as they are, stand not alone and unassisted. Lady and Sir Charles Morgan, Willis, the Ettrick Shepherd, Montgomery, whose beautiful Lectures on Poetry have enriched its pages, Captain Glasscock, Captain Chamier, Sir Egerton Brydges, Banim, Mrs. Gore, the Author of the " Diary of a Phy sician," 'William Howitt, &c. ; and, in fact, wherever talent has shown itfelf, it hardly seems to have been satisfied with its own filmerss until it had taken its stand in the Metropolitan. • . in tliiS ar of competition, being well assured that_general talent ooy can succeed, nothing will be - left undone to procure its assis tance. Encouraged by past and continued success, the future pre sents subjects only for congratulation, and, confident in great re .sources, rivalry is rather courted than feared.

It measured about three feet in length and twenty-eight inches in breadth, not including gills, which were very large, spreading like a fan, attached to the body by a broad thick lump of fleshy substance. In lieu of fins it had a large orifice on each side, from which it dis charged the water. The mouth, when open, Was large enough to contain a bucket of water ; the eyes and tail were small, the latter somewhat similar to that of a dolphin. —Maidstone Gazette. Monday a Coroner's inquest was held on Baptiste Constantine, an unfortunate Polish General. The deceased, through his misfortunes, suffered great privation both bodily and mentally, and the disinclination of some friends to assist him any longer, becoming apparent, in a moment of distrac tion, on Saturday evening, he shot himself through the breast with a pistol. His afflicted widow on taking him his supper discovered him weltering in blood. Medical assist ance was immediately obtained, and he was conveyed to the Bristol General Hospital, and although every thing was done for him he expired of the wound on the following day. Verdict—" Lunacy.".—Bath Journal. CAMBRIAN SUPERSTITION.—Gwrach-y-Rhibp —the Hag of the Dribble—derives her strange title from the following circumstances : 7 —ln her various journies over the hills, on her ill-boding errands, she is accustomed to carry her apron full of stones, and as often as her apron string breaks the stones fall in such a direction as to form, a dribble. There is something wildly and fearfully poetical in the Hag. As soon as the day has declined sufficiently to admit of her unseen progress, she hastens to the house which contains the doomed person, and there, flapping her wings against the window of the chamber, she calls upon the sick by name, in a howling broken voice, as thus : A-a-a-nni-i-i ! (Anni.) This visitation, it may be readily conceived, is infinitely more than that of Canwyll-y-Corff ; and as it. rarely occurs in any place but on the mountain, or in the morass, the terrors of the prediction are height eat(' in proportion to the wildness and loneliness of the scene. The Bodach-glas of Scotland, Banshee of Ireland, and the Gwrach-g-ilihibyn of Wales appear to be the " sisters three," who are invested with one and the same ominous power. Such are the absurdities of superstition ! " It is enough," says a sensible writer, " for a man to die, without being plagued with hags and banshees to increase its bitterness ; and it requires no prodigious stretch of un derstanding to include, under the phrase of " makers and lovers of a lie," all who, under any pretence, would pro long men's faith in what the current of human experience proves to have been far removed from them by the kind ness of their Maker.—Cambrian Journal. HERTs.--Preparations, ire find, are making to bring the voluntary provisions of the new tithe bill into ef fect in this county, and no doubt commutations will be effected with as much satisfaction, and in fact advantage to the parties concerned, as they have elsewhere. The ne cessary steps have been taken in the parish of Hatfield, and on Saturday Lord Melbourne left town to take part in the proceedings. A Sunday paper mentions a case in Sus sex, where the rector and the tithe-payers have each gained 2001. a year by a voluntary commutation. The rector will receive 200/. a year more, and the parishioners pay 200/. less—the expense of collection, &c. under the old system having actually amounted to 400/. Need one word more be said in favour of the new hill ?--Essex Herald.. BLANDFORD, DEC. 12.—Mr. Buckingham, M.P., having delivered, at this place, a Course of Lectures on the Holy Land, which gave general satisfaction to the crowded au diences that attended them, he was invited by the Com mittee of the Blandford Institution to return, and deliver a Second Course on the same subject ; which he completed on Friday evening last. At the close of the concluding lecture, the Rev. Reginald Smith, rector of Stafford, near Dorchester, rose, and addressed the audience to the fol lowing effect : "1 rise with feelings of the greatest pleasure to pro pose a vote of thanks to Mr. Buckingham, for the very in teresting series of Lectures which he has just concluded ; and I am sure, from the symptoms of delight and satisfac tion which I have witnessed in this large assembly, that I am but speaking the language of all in so doing.—(Cheers.) You, ,Sir (addressing himself to Mr, B.), have been the means of conducting us through scenes of the deepest interest to every Christian mind ; though it needed not the powers of description and gifts of eloquence which you possess to awaken our interest in such scenes as those of Ur of the Chaldees, the birthplace of Abraham, the Patriarch ; and the beautiful city of Damas cus, with its street called Straight,' where the Apostle Paul halted. You, Sir, by showing us the fulfilment of prophecy with respect to those places which you yourself have visited, have strengthened and confirmed our Christian faith. You have been the witness of the accomplishment of those denunciations which the prophets Isaiah and Jere miah were commissioned to proclaim against Nineveh and Babylon, those guilty cities of antiquity over which the besom of destruction hath swept ; thus exhibiting the awful instances of God's wrath against sin : and if any present should have entertained any doubts respecting the truth of those Scriptures to which you have so often alluded, I think he must have heard enough from you to dispel those doubts, and send him to his Bible with additional interest ; your beautiful elucidations having made those parts now appear plain which were formerly obscure. But, Sir, though, as I stated before, it needed not your talents to render such subjects attractive ; yet, set before us as they were, by your powerful and descriptive language, which of us who are here present could fail to be gratified and improved ? (Cheers.) I hope, Sir, that those scenes of desolation and ruin which you have so eloquently described with such a semblance of reality, will have the effect of teachint , us, more forcibly than ever, this Scripture lesson, that all flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof as the flower of the field : the grass withereth, the flower fadeth ; but the word of God endureth for ever.' In conclusion, Sir, I beg leave to tender to you the thanks of this meeting for the kind manner in which you have come forward and favoured us with these Lectures."—(Great applause.) The Rev. R. KEYNES, in seconding the proposition, expressed his entire concurrence in all that the previous speaker had said ; and added that he had watched nar rowly, and could not discover a single expression that had fallen from the lips of the respected Lecturer by which any person could discover what was his political bias, or from which persons of any party could receive any thing but pleasure and satisfaction.—(Loud cheers.) Lieutenant-Colonel KEANE, who presided in the Chair of the Institution on this occasion, then rose, and pre sented the thanks of the Meeting to Mr. Buckingham ; and in so doing, he said that he not only considered the thanks of this Meeting to be due to the Hon. Gentleman, for the pleasure he had afforded them here, but that he deserved the thanks of the whole community for the great public good he was doing in thus devoting his leisure and his talents to the gratification and improvement of mankind. —(Continued applause.) (From the Bath and Cheltenham Gazette of Monday.) At our Assembly Rooms, yesterday, Mr. Buckingham delivered the First Lecture of his Course on the " Holy Land," to a most numerous, fashionable, and attentive au ditory. The room was completely filled ; and the unusual interest which seems to have been excited, was in no de gree disappointed. Persons of every religious and political creed among us agree in allowing to Mr. Buckingham the praise which is due to an accomplished man and an eloquent speaker. His observations on the interesting objects in the Bast—objects which his own eyes have looked upon—con vinced us that they are at once just and refined. Although some of Mr. B.'s remarks have been made by,others, yet, in his bands, they have a novel air, and possess the stamp of ori ginality. We especially admired his precision, and the more so because of the extent of his knowledge. He can at the same time take in a general, and yet a particular view of objects ; show the connexion and reference they had to each other, and how causes distant in time and remote from common observation, operating through a course of ages and events, have produced the modern effects which he exhibits. And this he does in a style so truly graphic, that his hearers fancy themselves to be real spectators of those distant scenes of sublimity and delight which he describes. There is besides a most pleasant variety in his choice of words, together with a grateful redundance in the length and mas culine vigour in the whole structure of his periods ; which are so full, so tempered with the just proportions of tone and sense, that we are at once informed and charmed by an accuracy without study, and an elegance without art. If, however, there was one part of Mr. B.'s address more delightful to the Christian mind than another, it was the 'frequent opportunities which he seized of showing the per fect accuracy of all Biblical descriptions ; and the able manner in which he pointed out the judicious selection which marks the figurative language of Holy Writ fre quently drew down the strongest testimonies of approval from his well-educated hearers. Mr. Buckingham evinces much discretion in avoiding the most distant reference to those political sentiments which, as a senator, he is known to hold. Hence, if his hearers, go to his lectures without pre judice, he awakes none ; but if that spirit should unhappily exist, he presently subdues it. The distinguished qualities of this gentleman as a public speaker can, we think, be de nied by no man who has any taste for intelligence, for ge nius, or for eloquence of composition. FRANCE. CIVIL TRIBUNAL, DEC. 10. BELLOC V. NEWMAN ; AND ALSO BELLOC V. BYDE. The above two causes with two defendants, and qh more than one plaintiff, came on for hearing this mornffig, and their termination will be wormwood and gall to certain attorneys both English and French, as also to a Parisian bum-bailiff, who happened in some way or other to come into the possession of the two bills. M. Bedouin was ' counsel for the plaintiff in both causes ; that against Mr. Newman was for an overdue bill of the sum of 4821., and Mr. H. made out as good a case as the facts would admit of, but bad as the best that could be effected. M. Mesu reur rose in reply, and stated that the plaintiffin this action was in that rank of life, and was so circumstanced that it was not possible that he could give value for the bill ; in fact be was at present no more than a clerk to a huissier in Pa ris, and in 1830, he sold wine on commission, and became bankrupt. He further said that an attorney from London of the house of Taylor and Thorn had been over on the business with a considerable number of bills in his posses sion, overdue and accepted by Englishmen. The Court decided against the plaintiff, leaving him to pay costs and 500 francs damages. In the next case Belloc v. Byde, M. Hedouin was also counsel, .and it was evident from his manner of 'proceeding that he was fully aware of the untenable nature of his ground, and like a skilful general he soon beat a retreat, rather than be worsted and driven from his post. The bill on which Mr. Byde was sued, had been altered in the date from 1831 to 1835, no small jump in time, but a stroke of - the pen is almost as fleet as "a glance of the mind," and with men in pursuit of money, and who are not very nice as to the means by which they obtain it, such things are thought nothing of. The Court in this case decided for the defendant with costs and 320 francs damages. M. Carmier was for 'the defendant, who had been bailed by Mr. Farcey. ANOTHER JUDGMENT REVERSED.-WC stated formerly that a gentleman residing at Recques bad been fined by Cor rectional Tribunal of St. Omer, 20 francs and confiscation of his gun for sporting ; and was a second time brought be fore the same and fined 200 francs, for having said some thing to the guard champetre, when all that he said was good night." The gentleman alluded to has since made his appeal to the Court of Dailey and they have reveraed the fine of 200 francs. MEMORIALS OF MRS. HEMANS.-It has been truly said that the name of Hcmans requires no other me mento than her own imperishable works ; but still the his tory of her early life, the rise and progress of her genius, and everything connected with her fate and character, both as a woman and a poetess, must naturally prove matters of curiosity to the numerous admirers of her writings. We therefore hail these volumes as a valuable addition to the literature of our country ; they supply us with interesting anecdotes even of her childhood ; and contain her subse quent correspondence with some of the leading literary char49.tgrs of her time s never before published, Mr. Pole/lora rose to bring forward his promised mo tion, ►which was to the effect :—" That, adverting to the despatch of the Court of Directors, dated the 23d of Fe bruary, 1833, having for its object the withdrawal of the encouragement afforded by Great Britain to the idolatrous worship of India, and also the relinquishing of the revenue hitherto derived from such sources, which object does not appear to have been yet accomplished, the Court deems it ne cessary to recommend to the Court of Directors the adop tion of such further means upon the subject, as in their judgment may appear to be most expedient." It would have been (cont►nued the hon. proprietor) more agreeable to himself to have refrained from referring personally to the motion he had brought•forward eleven years since in that Court, upon what the Court had termed " the cruel and irreligious act of immolation." The hon. proprietor de fended his motion in a speech of great eloquence and talent, in which he repeated the arguments which on former occa sions he had urged in reference to the same subject. Mr. MARRYATT seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN would not attempt to follow the argu ments of the Hon. Proprietor. The subject had been fre quently before the Court during the last twelve years, and it had, with few exceptions, been left in the hands of the executive body. He hoped the Hon. Proprietor would not now depart from that course, and would not take any step to retard the object in view. He would request the Hon. Mover to withdraw the motion, assuring the Court that the subject had and should continue to engage the utmost solicitude of the executive body. (Hear.) Sir C. FORBES was opposed to any interference with the religious rites and ceremonies of the people of India. Mr. HAN KEY supported the motion, as did Mr. WEEDING. The CHAIRMAN said the Directors were in daily expect ation of hearing of the steps taken by Lord Auckland upon the instructions of the Court of 1833, but as it appeared to be the general feeling of the Court to adopt the resolution he would not oppose it ; on the contrary, if it were per sisted in he should vote in its favour. The motion was put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said, with reference to the notice of mo tion given by an hon. proprietor (Sir C. Forbes), for infor mation as to the trial, conviction, and execution of Shum sooden Khan, Nawaub of Ferozepore, and the confiscation of his territory, he had to state that the Directors had not received any information, and he hoped, therefore, that the motion would be withdrawn. Sir C. FORBES consented, observing that he should renew it next Court. The motion was then withdrawn. The CHAIRMAN then brought forward the motion relative to Sir John Campbell, in doing which he called the atten tion of the Court to the eminent and efficient services of that officer while assistant to the Persian mission, and sub sequently as Envoy to the Persian Government. Sir C. FORBES spoke in favour of the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Court then adjourned. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, DEC. 21. GOVERNOR AND COMPANY OF THE BANK OF SCOTLAND V. KERR. Mr. JACOJI moved to take a plea in this case off the file for irregularity, it having been filed without oath. The plea denied the ability of the plaintiffs to sue as a Corporation. Mr. KNIGHT submitted the motion was not fair. The plea might have been disposed of, whether good or bad, be fore the present notice of motion was given ; and it .had been in fact, set down for argument by agreement between the solicitors. As to the point of law, he would have then been prepared to argue it. His HONOUR thought this was a plea in which something more was necessary than the mere production of a record, and ordered the plea to be taken off the filo. The par ties, of course, bad liberty to plead over again. . COURT OF COMM9N PLEAS, DEC. 21. WHITMORE AND OTHERS V. DAVENPORT. This was an action to recover the amount of a promis sory note for 5001., with interest, to which the defendant pleaded a set-off, arising out of transactions between the parties. The evidence, however, failed to establish the plea, and therefore the Jury, under the direction of his Lordship, returned a verdict for the plaintiffs for the amount claimed. The Other cases in the paper having been previously dis posed of by arrangement, the Court rose at an early hour. ADMIRALTY COURT—DEC. 21. THE GIACOMO.—SALVAGE. This is a suit promoted by the owners of the Liberty and the Providence, two luggers, against the owners of the foreign ship Giacomo.' The Giacomo, a vessel sailing un der the Austrian flag, set off from Venice, laden with bones, on a voyage to Hull in May last, and when off Lowestoft, on •the Ist of August, nearly ran aground on the Beacon . Ridge Sand, while steering by a Norwich chart, which did not contain it. The two luggers, seeing that the Giacomo was steering directly aground, made signs to her that she should put her helm about, which, however, she did not understand. They then went over the sand, and one of the crew got on board, ran directly aft,and put the helm about, by which it is alleged, on the part of the salvors, that she was saved from being wrecked. There was great discrepancy among the witnesses, sonic state ments made on one side being diametrically opposite to those on the other. The value of ship and cargo amounted to 2,000/., and the action was entered for 200/. 'Fhe KING'S ADVOCATE, for the salvors, contended that in consequence of the crew of the lugger havbg voluntarily risked their own lives, and the safety of their hats, they deserved the sum at which the action was entered. Dr. PHILLIMORE, for the owners of the Giaconid,, tended that, if' the Court pronounced for the salvors, 1; would be a most dangerous precedent ; and, therefore, sub mitted that his party ought to be dismissed, with their costs. The Learned JUDGE having recapitulated the circum stances, was of opinion that, even if the exaggerated ac count given by the salvors could be believed, it was not suf ficient to entitle them to any reward. Their conduct throughout the proceeding had been evidently for the pur pose of extorting money from this ship, and it was the duty of the Court to protect foreign vessels as well as our own. He thought it his duty to dismiss the petition for salvage, and to decree the costs against the salvors. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDIIALL. Yesterday Arthur Groombridgc, a young man who was recently employed as a clerk at the Belle Sauvage Inn, Lud gate-hill, was charged with having embezzled various sums of money. The prisoner was committed. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. A LOVE-SICK TAILOIL—Josbna Clay, sheepish-looking lad, was charged by Mr. Kennedy, a tradesman in Oxford street, with having been found on his premises at a late hour the overni;ht. When discovered, all that could be got from the defendant was, that he had climbed over the wall " to see his dear Louisa." _ _ . Mr. Kennedy had a servant named Louisa, but he had reason to believe she gave no encouragement to the pri- Soller. Prisoner (sighing)—Why I'm her sweetheart! Mr. Kennedy-1 never saw you before, nor am I aware that you have ever been in my house. Prisoner—Oh, yes I have though, every Sunday after noon., I asked Mrs. Kennedy to Olt me come a-courting to Louisa, and she said I might go into the kitchen any time when Louisa was alone. Mr. DYER—Then why did you get over the wall at such a late hour? Prisoner—Me and mother had a kick-up, and so I thought I'd go and tell Louisa. The mother came forward, and said that her son, who was just out of his time as a journeyman tailor, lived at home with her. She had occasion to box his ears for some thing he said, upon which he left the house in a pet, and went to pour his sorrows into the bosom of his sympathising Louisa. Mr. Kennedy told the Magistrate he was now satisfied the prisoner had no felonious intention, and he did not wish to press the charge. The prisoner was liberated, after a suitable caution. A couple of smart young men were charged with having been drunk and disorderly. One of the parties, Thomas Johnson, admitted the charge of intoxication, and was released on payment of the usual fine ; his .companion, John Brown, the model of a full fledged spouter at a debating society, protested loudly against a s►milar disposition of his case, because, if allowed to display his ratiocinatory powers, he felt assured he could ensure an acquittal. Mr. DYER—WeII, Sir, I am ready to hear you. Defendant—The first proposition I wish to bring for ward, is, that I saw the policeman coming across the street ; Mr. DYER showed this was a non scTuitar. Defendant—Then I'll confine myself simply to the ar guments and facts bearing on the' case in point. I supped in the Haymarket, and after setti:og, with the waiter and finishing my brandy-and-water, I wa.'ked leisurely up Pic cadilly. There I was accosted by a persoo, who desired me to take care I was not picked up by the black-legs. I retorted he was a black-leg for his trouble, and then he struck me. Of course we got into an argument, till the policemen came and took me into custody. What strengthens my case most materially is, that I was quite sober, and my antagonist refused to accompany me to the etation-house. Looking, therefore, at all the facts, and droving those conclusions which these facts warrant, your Worbip cannot do otherwise than come to a different de terminatiO in my case. Mr. DYER--Certainly. Your friend adtnitted that he had been drinking, and I released him on payment of ss. But as you deny you were intoxicated, I must, on the oath of the policeman, consider the disorderly conduct proved, and call on you to find bail. The orator looked exceedingly mortified at this an nouncement, and on seeing his friend walk out of the office, while he was handed to the lock-up man, muttered, " Gad, I've made a pretty mess of it." A hint having been co:nreyed to the unlucky orator, he availed himself of it, by requesting another interview with the Magistrate. Having be t ..n put to the bar again, he said very penitently, I a d m it ply error, and I hope your Worship will allow me to say tho.: - . I was intoxicated at the time." Mr. DYER consented to fine the d.,,Sendant 55., and then directed he should be discharged. I V OR SHIP- S T.REE Yesterday, Thomas Pardon, a man o f most - ferocious aspect, was placed at the bar before Messrs: Grove and Tw}•ford, and Mr. Simpson a county magistr,Ate, charged with entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Thomt.'s Wilson, a licensed victualler, aad landlord of the Swan, Si can-street, Bethnal-green, with intent to commit a felony. The prisoner was remanded till Friday. UNION-HALL. On Friday last a disturbance of a serious nature oc curred at St. Thomas's Hospital, owing to some of the students belonging to Guy's Hospital attempting to obtain forcible entry into a part of the operating theatre of the former establishment, to witness an operation about to be performed, and to which situation none but privileged per sons bad right of access. During the disturbance in con sequence of the refusal of admittance of two students of Gu'.'s to the area of the theatre, one of the men placed at the door to prevent intrusion was violently assaulted, and in the execution of his duty had a narrow escape from being thrown - over the ballustrades from a considerable height, which, if carried into effect, would in all probability have cost him his life. Owing to these violent proceed ings on the part of the rioters the operations on two indi viduals for lithotorny were obliged to be suspended, it being found necessary at length to call in the aid of the metropolitan police before the tumult was quelled. The same day application was made at this office for warrants against some of the ringleaders in the affray, which were immediately granted ; and yesterday having been appointed for hearing them- the office was completely thronged with medical students belonging to both the hospitals. There were also present Mr. Travers, the surgeon of St. Thomas's Hospital, who was to have performed the operations on the day'of the alleged riot and disturbance ; Mr. Harrison, the treasurer of Guy's ; and Mr. Callaway, surgeon of the same hospital. Mr. C. PHILLIPS and Mr. ADOLPHUS attended as Counsel for the parties concerned in the affair. It appearing that a warrant having been granted against Williams, the porter of St. Thomas's Hospital, for assault ing Mr. Linguard, one of the students of Guy's Hospital, Mr. PHILLIPS, on his behalf, detailed the charge against the defendants, durinc , which he produced the prospectuses of both hospitals, to show that for the natural advantage of the students of both hospitals, their admission to the lectures and operating theatres of both were allowable. After sonic preliminary conversation relative to the right of the dressers of Guy's to be present in the area of the operating theatre of St. Thomas's, for the purpose of wit nessir, operations, and with which question the magistrates said they had nothing to de. Mr. Linguard stated that he was a dresser of Guy's Hospital, and that on Friday last he went to St. Thomas's Hospital, accompanied by Mr. Carrington, another student, to witness an operation. That on arriving at the door he presented his ticket, and was proccediig to that part of the operating theatre called the area when h e , was stopped by Williams, who said that be had orders not to admit him to that particular place. Ha (complainant) mentioned that he was a dresser of Guy's, but the defendant persisted in his refusal to admit him, and when lie attempted to pass on he was seized by the collar and prevented. This, the complainant added, was the assault of which be complained. Some discussion here arose as to the right of access of the dressers of Guy's Hospital to the area of the place in question, after which Mr. Travers was called, and having stated the nature-of the operation which he was about to have performed on Friday, and the necessity of postponing it altogether, in consequence of the disturbance that ensued, lie then distinctly said that Williams, the defendant, was placed at the door for the purpose of preventing the entrance of persons into the area of the theatre. Mr. Travers then explained the regulations adopted at St. Thomas's Hospital, with respect to the admission of persons to witness opera tions, by which it appeared that the area of the theatre was exclusively reserved for the dressers of the operating sur geon, and for foreigners who intimated a wish to be present ; but although a notice was put up in the hospital to that effect, yet the intention was not always carried into effect, and much inconvenience had therefore been experienced, not only by the operating surgeon himself, but also by the patients, in consequence of the pressure around the table placed in the centre. On the present occasion, Mr. Tra vers added, an extraordinary notice had been issued from St. Thomas's hospital, directing that none of the students of Guy's should be admitted to witness the operation with out being provided with tickets, and that the order was given in consequence of the previous misconduct of some students during an operation. The Magistrates being of opinion that the defendant was justified in preventing the entrance of Mr. Linguard into •the area of the theatre under the circumstances above de scribed, immediately dismissed the complaint. Mr. Linguard and Mr. Carrington were then placed in the situation of defendants, and charged with assaulting Williams, the porter of St. Thomas's Hospital, in the exe cution of his duty. The brief facts of the case were that, on the day men tioneLl+ the defendants, in attempting to force their way into t h e are . a of the theatre, struck Williams for trying to pre vent them ; that they ultimately made their way into the place, and it o. as only by forcible means they were subse quently ejected. The proceeding on the part of the defen (Lints led totheatre during which the door of the s t n a c sl e ;ed in pieces, and Williams was ftttli cisi: teas vi operating throw hint over the ballustraas, when some persons inter seiZed upon by some of lb,' !students, who were going to feud, and rescued him 11;oin his as.sailatits. The defendants were held to hail /0 appear to answer the charge at the sessions. Another student named Illitsgrotie was olso‘ held to bail for being concerned in the destruction of the door of the operating theatre. On Sunday evening a young female, named Sarah Evans, was taken into custody by one of the police con stables of the C division, for creating 4 . disturbance In Piccadilly, and was placed in the St. James's btation-house. A short time afterwards the constable who regularly visits the prisoners, upon going his rounds, discovered that she had made a desperate attempt to commit suicide, by tying her handkerchief round her throat so tightly that she was almost strangled. He immediately took .:way the handkerchief, and not thinking that she had any other means of injuring herself, he left her and continued his rounds. Upon going into the cell shortly afterwards, he found that the same female hod made another attempt to strangle herself with her garters, ytnd but for his timely ar rival she would most probably havc carried her rash de sign into execution. The inspector oh duty, upon being informed of the circumstance, immediatey directed that some person should sit up with the prisoner for the rest of the night, to prevent all possibility of her doing herself any injury. The ordinary meeting of the Lionean Society was held Tuesday evening ; A. B. Lambert, Esq., in the chair. A communication was read from Mr. Babington on . those species of polygonum and fagopyrum found in the Hima layan Mountains, described in the Herbarium of Professor Boyle. The Chairman exhibited two specimens of wood, of which the Gibraltar, 80-gun ship, was built. One of these was cedar, and the other the pinus occidentalis, which had only been known lately in the highest parts of St. Do mingo, .but was recently deselibtid by Mr. Afecleay as con stituting whole forests in the Island of Cuba. THE POTTERIES.— Notwithstanding overtures have been made by highly respectable parties to attempt a mediation between the " turn-out" men and their masters, at present both remain unshaken in their determination to abide by their respective "forms of agreement." The ma nufacturers, strong they say in the sound principle and jus tice of their cause, have resolved " to make every sacrifice save their integrity."
